How it works

How to convert a PDF statement to QIF

Drop your PDF bank statement onto PivotBank. It is opened on your device, so the file itself is never uploaded

Review every extracted transaction against the running balance in the preview grid

Unlock the statement (one-time payment, no subscription) to enable accounting exports

Download the .qif file and import it via File, then Import in Quicken, GnuCash, or your finance tool

Try the import first: download a sample .qif file made from our demo statement.

A clean, predictable QIF file

Standard !Type:Bank records readable by Quicken, GnuCash, MS Money, AceMoney, and more
Signed amounts: money out negative, money in positive, mapped from your statement automatically
Dates keep your statement’s own day/month order, so imports match your locale
Full transaction descriptions preserved as the payee line
Scanned or photographed statements handled by OCR
Also exports Excel, CSV, QBO for QuickBooks, OFX for Xero, and JSON from the same statement

Why QIF still matters

Plenty of tools never moved past QIF: older Quicken versions, GnuCash workflows, MS Money archives, and countless small accounting utilities. Banks stopped offering QIF downloads years ago, which leaves PDF statements as the only source.

PivotBank rebuilds the QIF from the PDF itself, so it works for closed accounts, years-old statements, and scans, none of which any bank export can produce.

Bank coverage

Which banks convert to QIF?

All of them. The parser reads the layout of a statement rather than looking your bank up, so a bank with no guide of its own converts the same way. These are the guides people ask for most, each covering how to download that bank’s statement and what the converter extracts:

FAQ

PDF to QIF questions

Which programs can import the QIF file?

QuickBooks Desktop, GnuCash, Microsoft Money, AceMoney, Banktivity, older Quicken versions, and most personal-finance software that predates OFX. Current Quicken limits QIF import to some account types, so for Quicken an OFX file is often the easier route; PivotBank exports OFX and QBO too.

Is my bank statement uploaded to your servers?

No. The PDF is opened on your device and the QIF file is written there; a scanned page is the exception, rendered on your device and sent as an image to be read. Only statements you explicitly unlock and save to an account are stored, and only as extracted transaction data, never the PDF.

How much does it cost?

Previewing is free: the first 5 rows of any statement, checked against the balance. QIF export is part of the one-time statement unlock, around $2.99 per statement with no subscription. High volumes are covered by the Pro plan and batch converter.

How are dates formatted in the QIF?

PivotBank detects whether your statement uses day-first or month-first dates and keeps that order in the QIF, so Quicken set to your locale imports them correctly.
